Monster Original


Name: Monster Original

Manufacturer: Monster

Can size: 500ml

Energy: 1006kJ/500ml (VERY HIGH)

Caffeine: 160mg

Sweeteners: Sucrose, Glucose, Sucralose

Other chemicals of interest: 

Flavour: Incredibly sweet, with a hint of tartness to take the edge off. Very refreshing initially, but sweetness can take its toll. Not sure where the idea of saltiness comes from; salt is in the ingredient list, but its not really part of the flavour.

Rating: 8/10
